c. (6 points) The premium on small-company stocks over large company stocks (large company stocks is a good proxy for the "market portfolio," really) is quite large. The estimated beta of the small-company stocks portfolio is 1.30. Based on an estimated CAPM (Security Market Line) using the average return on Large-company stocks as E[RM] and the average return on T-bills as RF, what is the "predicted" expected return on the small-company stock portfolio? Is the actual average return on the small-stock portfolio higher or lower than this "predicted" expected return?
